A New Beacon for a Harbor City

Greenland Dalian East Harbor TowerDalian, China

HOK designed this mixed-use development to be the tallest in northeast China and to create a beacon for Dalian to the world.

Developed for an international competition, HOK’s design creates a gently curving, triangular form. The 108-story tower reflects the boldness and symmetry of a lighthouse while conveying a symbol of strength and grace.

From afar, the singular triangular form of the main tower translates into a beacon with organically shaped openings recognizable from any direction in the city.
